Getting to know this man of God Marcellus C. Miller

When he first started writing, Mrs. Butzu was his first mentor. As his family encouraged him to follow his dreams, he felt his way through, learning and researching the area he wanted to write in. Among his teacher and family, he also learned from his brother-in-law and author, Emmanuel Johnson, Sr. and his very own Pastor, Pastor/Author Dr. Lonnie W. Brown.

 Langston Hughes and Robert Frost was one of his favorite authors as he grew up. When getting his mojo going, there's nothing like a late inspiration that won't allow you to sleep until you put your thoughts down on paper.

Marcellus's advice to upcoming authors

Marcellus's advice to upcoming authors is that anyone can put out a CD, but how many people can say they have published a book? Chase your dream not the competition. Research and he repeats research an area where there is a hole in the market for your work. There are tons of choices out there, but give the people a reason to read yours.

In the near future, Marcellus would be moving away from poetry books, but will continue to write poetry. At the moment he is currently working on two other books. The first one is called "The truth about Recruiting" which entails all about the realities of trying to play college athletics and the true story of what recruiters mean based on what they say. The second book is titled "Coaching Multiple Personalities" which entails about being able to create teams from vastly different personalities in both business and sports.

Let's see what he has coming up tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Getting to know who Marcellus Miller is...

When asked about writer's block, he says it could happen, but for him, he believes that he have to be in tune with inspiration in any form, anywhere, and at any time. When he's happy, in tears, angry, any other emotions, rather he's at home, church, class, and even at work, he writes what's in his heart. As for him, he doesn't have a personal block. His creative juices keeps flowing no matter where's he's at.

What made Marcellus chose self-publishing? Well, he went the way of Vanity Publishing. The price point allowed him to Print on Demand versus the volume number of books. The editing process was extensive and they put out good products. Most importantly, all his files are copyrighted with his name on it and they're exclusively his. They can't do anything without his permission. This part he loves because it gives him complete control. This was very important to him.

What is Patrice take on Writer's Block?

When asked does she believe in writer's block? She says she most definitely do. She can't even count the numerous of times that she had writer's block. Last year she remembered that she took a break from writing poetry for three whole months. She had lost interest in writing at that particular time. In order for her to to write something good, she has to be in the mood and focused. She can't force herself to write a poem because she knows it won't be good. She believes that every writer goes through writer's block every now and then.

Hopefully one day she will publish her own work one day. But for right now she's publishing the old fashion way. She's going the traditional publishing by choosing a publisher.

Come by tomorrow to see what advice she has for upcoming authors!

On Darrell's Characters

When Darrell create his characters, it depends on the story he's writing. He want his characters to be as real as possible and take his readers on a journey along with his characters where they can feel like they're living and experiencing the emotional up and downs. Each of his characters has a story to tell and it's important that the  characters tells his or her story and what made them the way they are. As he creates his characters, he has a certain image in his mind, but once the story evolves, the character may or may not change.  Each character is unique in his or her own way. Darrell always create his characters to be opinionated where they speak their minds. A writer is controversial and very opinionated. So you should always like every character, but should be emotionally attached to them. A good writer isn't afraid to touch on subjects others shy away from or scared to address. There's so many issues going on in our homes and out communities that we cover up or keep quiet about. Until we bring these issues to the light, things will never change. His characters are intended to do just that as well as show others that it's nothing to be ashamed of. Although these characters are controversial, they are real and their stories are dying to be told. So he would like to challenge all authors dare to be different. Write a story that will make a difference and possibly change someone's life. Too many times we follow the standard or we take the easy way out and write the same drug dealing, gangsta, or bad b*t*h book.

Poetry runs thru my veins {over 172 poems here is a sample}

Prejudice amongst our own race
Terrorist attacks & hate crimes are at an all- time high,
Yet we’re still prejudice amongst our own race.
We refuse to acknowledge the success & hard work someone else has achieved.
Instead we degrade them & secretly await the day they fall.
But got the nerve to claim we aren’t prejudice, when we despise our own race.
Just a slap in our ancestor’s face, who fought so hard for our freedom & equal rights.

We rally & protest for justice to prevail, but we can’t come together,
To make our community better. The real sins are the crimes we commit against our own race.
We scream recycle the black dollar but we don’t support black businesses.
Either we think there too proper, too ghetto, too country or just too boozjeah
Some black businesses are never on time, always late or never open.
Prices are too high or the service is just too slow.
Whatever it maybe, we don’t support our own race, just a slap in our ancestors face.
Prejudice amongst our own race.

We stab each other in the back but scream black pride.
Justice maybe blind but racism is not.
We judge each other by the color of their skin, either their too light, too black or too bright.
With all the problems facing our race it’s sad that we still can’t come together.
But we always claim the white man is keeping us down, when we can’t hold each other up.
Just a slap in our ancestors face, Prejudice amongst our own race.

We don’t want to see the next man make it, instead our heart is full of envy & greed.
We plant that hatred seed. Some of us finally get a lil fame & a lil money,
Move out hood & forget where they came from.
Refuse to give back to the hood & empower growth & community development.
Until we respect & support each other we will never be free.
Other races won’t respect us if we can’t respect ourselves.
Instead of striving for success we sit home & make mess.
We cutthroat, we’re the smoking gun that’s gonna demolish our own race.
Morals & values it’s time we get some.
Stop blaming the other race because racism is staring us in the face.
Black on black destruction but we claim it’s the clan & these different races.
We can’t even smile in each other’s face, prejudice amongst our own race.
Our ancestors would be disappointed in us all, they fought for us to come together & stand tall
They fought to better our community, they fought for change, unity.
It’s a shame what our race has become, just a slap to our ancestors face.
Prejudice amongst our own race.     {I have so much more to come}

Darrell's Advice to Upcoming Authors

To be in this game, you have to have tough skin. There will be so many people secretly praying and hoping you fail. But as long as you trust in God and believe in yourself, anything is possible. Believe in yourself when no one else does. Write from your heart and never lose sight if what you're trying to accomplish. Always remember it's not about the money because you may or may not get rich. It's about following your dreams and making a difference. Being able to inspire others and bring joy to someone who is on the verge of giving up. There's no greater joy than accomplishing something you set out to do. The money and fame is a bonus, but it's not guaranteed. Remember in this business, it's risky and cutthroat. Before you do anything, learn the business and control your own destiny. Never take anyone's word, do your homework and know what you are getting into before your begin to self-publish.

Come tomorrow to see what's in his near future!

Darrell's take on Self Publishing

What got Darrell to self-publish his own books instead of going to the traditional way? It's the idea of being in control, being able to publish, market, advertise, and promote as much as you want and knowing that his future is in his hands and nobody else's and not depending on others. Going the self-publishing way gives you the opportunity to do numerous projects without waiting on approval from major publishing companies. Darrell states that no one knows your work like you do, so it's only right to handle all aspects of your work. When you self-publish, it's a lot more work because you are required to do more marketing, advertising and promoting, but it also allows you to think outside of the box and be truly creative. There are so many opportunities you're able to explore as an independent author. Even though you're frowned upon because you're self-publishing, but major labels are starting to take notice of the things we're doing in the self-publishing business. Self-publishing also gives you an opportunity to brand yourself and your business rather than help someone else become a household name.

Come again tomorrow to see what advice he will give to upcoming authors!

Getting to know the mind of Darrell Freeman, Jr.

When it comes to writer's block, Darrell states that sometimes you just be tapped out and your creative juices just aren't flowing right. Always remember that you are a writer, so your job is to write. How often do you supposed to write? You're supposed to write everyday rather you have something to talk about or not. Just write. When you keep writing, you develop a pattern that will ultimately allow you to move past the writer's block stage. In his opinion, writer's block comes being stressed and over worked. To overcome this, take a shower or watch a movie to relax. You can exercise, or do something other than stopping writing. You can also reread your story to help you refresh your memory and keep your story flowing smoothly. come by tomorrow to see what got Darrell to self-publish his own books. You will  be impressed!
